Originally formed in 1998, Hi-5 soared to fame with the help of their catchy songs and hit children's TV series. Incorporating educational trends as fun and games into their show and songs, Hi-5 quickly became a family favourite for children's entertainment.
Hi-5's current members are Lachie Dearing, Tanika Anderson, Dayen Zheng, Gabe Brown and Mary Lascaris. In their fifteen years, the group has won five ARIA awards for 'Best Children's Album' and three Logie Awards for 'Most Outstanding Children’s Preschool Program'.
Hi-5 and Starlight have a long history together, naturally uniting under the common goal of brightening children's lives. For the past fifteen years, Hi 5 have taken the time to meet with Starlight children and families, visited Starlight Express Rooms all across Australia, and promoted Starlight on their TV show.
In 2009, Hi-5 signed on as Starlight's first 21st year ambassador. They were actively involved in helping Starlight with fundraising, wishgranting, Starlight Escapes and other events throughout the year. They even put on a special performance at the 2009 Five Chefs Dinner in Sydney - Starlight's major annual fundraiser.
Anything we can do as a group to bring laughter into the lives of sick children and their families is extremely rewarding. It's a privilege to be able to support such a great cause like Starlight and assist in raising vital funds so that no child misses out.Hi-5, Starlight Ambassadors
